The new/used trailer was set in place snug in the middle between Mike's small trailer and the store north wall. The hutch from the dining room and dresser out of our bedroom in Cedar Hill were in the store after two trips by Bill and sons. Mike went job hunting in the surrounding area. Bill and I celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary. Will and Mike moved 20 feet of 8 foot high shelving seven feet. The Sears refrigerators and freezers were delivered. Bill and Mike sawed and nailed for three straight days. This finished the window surround and the enclosure for the ac units. The shelf for large bags of animal feed is complete thanks to Mike's sawing several dozen wood slats. Will drilled holes so the strips that seal the plywood could be attached. He sawed them to length and nailed them in place. Bill determined that Van knew what he was doing when he wired the store, as we have separate breakers for each plug along the south wall.
After a long week we are back in Cedar Hill for another load, fresh laundry and some good byes to Bill and Will. Mike and I have a long list of to-dos over the next two week span. Part of this includes transfering our insurance to a company Stephen told us about. It sure helps to have a son who has been in the area a while.
Do not believe the Frigidare people when they email you to say you have 8 feet of cord on each unit they make. Those Canadians think 6 is 8. The men who mow along the roadside left us a neat path to the sign in Woodland so it is measured. Woodland has a new venture. The little building with a bay has become a car repair shop. The road crew stopped to tell us to carry bait...minnows and worms. A cat stopped by to share our ham sandwich and Will named her Fay-Lee to which she did not respond, however she liked the scratching behind the ears and later that evening she brought a friend. Will is especially fond of cats and highly allergic to them. He gets around this by washing his hands after petting.
The plan was adjusted for those short Canadian cords, and the store seems on target to open in July.
